Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
For the Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
For the Topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, and pureed strawberries until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before removing from the springform pan.
- For the topping, mix sliced strawberries with strawberry jam and lemon juice. Spread over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
